Environmental Commission Sponsors Clean-Up Day
The Pennsauken Environmental Commission is sponsoring a clean-up day at Tippin’s Pond and Heritage Park, 419 Cove Rd., Pennsauken, on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The Pennsauken Environmental Commission is sponsoring a clean-up day at Tippin’s Pond and Heritage Park, 419 Cove Rd., Pennsauken, on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Volunteers will be picking up trash and cleaning brush from the nature trails, fishing dock and pond. Children are allowed to participate as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Gloves will be provided, but they are one size fits all, so bringing personal work gloves for youngsters is recommended. Since the pond and riverfront areas will be wet and the wooded area uneven, proper footwear is a must. The Commission also recommends wearing long pants to protect against the undergrowth. And a hat is never a bad idea.
This is a wonderful opportunity for residents, particularly young people, to realize the importance of keeping Pennsauken Township, and its green spaces, clean.

An Open Letter From Mayor Taylor To The Residents And Businesses Of Pennsauken Township
Township Ordinances in Place to Minimize Pollution of Creeks and Rivers
By Rick Taylor, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
We have a new addition to the family, and no, I’m not talking about another grandchild to spoil. Bernice and I got a dog, a cute, little Havanese named Weeko. And like many of you, aside from the impromptu snow we got on the first day of spring, the warmer weather is going to make it a lot easier to take Weeko out for walks.
But whether it’s warm or cold outside, there’s one part of dog walking that doesn’t change: bringing that plastic bag along to pick up the “deposits” that Weeko makes along the way. It’s not fun for anyone, but it makes sure that no one has to leave their shoes outside their front door, if you catch my drift.
